For a few weeks we’ve suffered from a shortage of intersectional punditry, but now from The Lancet:
Centring sexual and reproductive health and justice in the global COVID-19 response

Global responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are converging with pervasive, existing sexual and reproductive health and justice inequities to disproportionately impact the health, wellbeing, and economic stability of women, girls, and vulnerable populations. People whose human rights are least protected are likely to experience unique difficulties from COVID-19. Women, girls, and marginalised groups are likely to carry a heavier burden of what will be the devastating downstream economic and social consequences of this pandemic. A sexual and reproductive health and justice framework—one that centres human rights, acknowledges intersecting injustices, recognises power structures, and unites across identities—is essential for monitoring and addressing the inequitable gender, health, and social effects of COVID-19.

I am just very thankful that the President wasn’t so rash as to shut down the entire Intersectionality sector. It’s a very important part of our economy.
It's only our weird society & a few weird Western or westernized societies where grocery stores, good supply chains, socialized nanny states, free health care, lesbian cops going after male women beaters, and a police entity that gets into your business every time a drunk pops his gf....thats all part if the nanny state western women use as substitutes for as Heartiste calls it "beta male provision."
These ppl are just trying to secure their sinecure on the make-work racketeering wagon....
my god–good one, Sailer
The time is rapidly approaching, if it’s not here already, when we need to stop treating The Lancet as a serious medical journal.
AA in the sense that they are obligated to give space to people who do not have the intellectual horsepower and inclination to produce quality scientific work, but Lancet can use this sort of piece to somewhat balance their contents by ethnicity and sex.
Stalinism in the sense that all institutions have to pay homage to the prevailing ideology or die. During the reign of Stalin perfectly valid science was being published, but every paper opened with a paean to the inspiration of Marxist-Leninist thought and the leadership of Comrade Stalin in the success of the work.

Our affirmative-action 95-IQ Surgeon General is an ok guy, despite the fact that he certainly killed some people when he spread the anti-mask lies and caused them to go viral. He recently spoke out to the brothas, telling them that they were dying at a much higher rate than the crackas, and he gave them some good advice–don’t drink too much, don’t hit the pipe too much… today at the White House press conference, a tightlipped Strong Black Woman took him to task for his offensive comments. I guess it’s official: better to let black people die than to offend them.
Newark, NJ–April 10, 2020— Mayor Ras J. Baraka today asked “everyone to stay home” for a nearly complete shut-down of the City of Newark on Mondays to bring attention to the severity of the COVID-19 spread in the community and help slow the spread.
Beginning this coming Monday, April 13, “Be Still Mondays” will happen each week for the next month.
“We want to shut down the whole City,” Mayor Baraka said during his Thursday night Facebook Live briefing. “We’re sending out letters to all businesses asking them to close.
The City would like businesses deemed “essential” by prior executive orders, such as food stores and pharmacies, to also close, as well as downtown corporations and manufacturing companies.
The idea is to show community-wide solidarity in the face of the aggressive COVID-19 virus that is especially ravaging black and brown communities nationwide.

The only thing in Newark anyone cares about is the Prudential Center and the ice rink next door. And basically that's suburban white people that park right there, go in, either to to an event or to their kid's hockey or figure skating practice, and leave. The rest of it is a shithouse of epic proportions.

Yes, this is a disease of the poor. Never mind the demographics showing that affluence and its habits, especially travel to Large Organized Party Scenes, correlates strongly with patterns of infection.

But this opens up many employment opportunities for the marginalized and oppressed! (Frankly, these guys seem pretty cool and I’d pay the big bucks for them to carry my casket around a church three times.)

The disease attacks the lungs and is spread by exhaling. Therefore, perhaps Mayor Rastafarian can ask Newarkers to demonstrate their solidarity with the victims by all holding their breath for one hour on each Monday of the week. He can call it the “Be Still Forever Hour”.

I have relative who works at the rutgers u hospital in Newark . They ran an internal hospital study where they tested the front line medical staff for covid and so many came back positive, but generally asyptomatic, that they now have a staff shortage. My relative, who did not participate in the study was exposed through her contacts with co workers but now can’t get tested because they don’t want to know (since she is not showing symptoms) and they need her to keep working although potentially she could be spreading it to patients. Fun times.
Aren’t men dying of this thing at twice the rate of women??? Are disproportionate negative impacts for men ever an issue with these people? Are their misandry and sexism truly this colossal?
Remember the inchoate WH Press Corps fury, over Wyoming and Nebraska not being dictatorially locked down fast enough? You can’t treat populous and rural areas differently– that’s not who we are. All must suffer. Volcano-sacrifice must be re-examined for equity. Not financial equity– this is the new “equity” creed we proclaim since folks have begun tuning out the dead-horse of a word “equality” like blah-blah speech from the teachers in a Peanuts cartoon.

I dunno, our surgeon general is handsome and looks good in a homemade mask. A 95 IQ is not that low, all things considered. Compared to the people I work with, he’s a freaking genius. Besides, I think that our surgeon general is at least a 125 if not a 130 IQ, like Obama.
This a great occasion to prevent a crisis from going to waste. Let them publish what they want. But if they’re not doing anything useful, order them out of the way of the people who are. People will figure it out soon enough.

When the media started talking about the “disparate impact” of COVID-19 on Blacks barely a few days ago, I quipped to a relative of mine: “You know a crisis of any sort is past its use-by date when the media start doing the race card boogie-woogie.” Maybe there ought to be a law, “reductio ad racism”?

Whatever happened to MERS? How’d we go from camels to bats?
MERS is still, I believe, on a back burner, culling some few dozens annually. If memory serves, it also had something to do with bats as well as with camels.
My last job had me on a recurring tour of ME ports (Aqaba, Jeddah, Salalah, Jebel Ali, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, ad Dammam, Shuaiba, Shuwaikh, etc.), and the authorities in the Kingdom were very much spun up about MERS, particularly in 2014-15, with those in the UAE a bit less so. Never was excessively concerned for the crew, as MERS seemed to be pretty hard to transmit. Interaction with the locals was limited and manageable, with the omnipresent possibility of being flattened by a speeding Tahoe being much more of a deadly danger than a virus. "Liberty calls" aren't really a thing in KSA, certainly not in Jeddah, far too close to the Holy Places, and while technically permissible in Dammam, I never saw any of my crew venture down the ramp.

Short version:
Hispanics very under-represented among victims,
Whites about average,
Blacks slightly over-represented.
Men over-represented compared to women.
So no, The Lancet is lying.
Asians are under-represented in cases but over-represented in deaths. So maybe WuFlu really is more hazardous to Asians, or (more likely) CA isn’t aware how many Asian illegals they have so they under-count their Asian population.

Yamiche Alcindor, PBS reporter and “political commentator” to /MSNBC/NBC. She told everyone on earth “some people” were offended by the Surgeon General’s word choice. It took less than 3 minutes for “some people” to be so offended as to get PBS to speak out, thus proving to everyone just how much credibility the press deserves. That $25 million bail out to PBS is the best money we’ve spent this year.
Yamiche Alcindor is just an ungrateful AA mediocrity who more than likely pushed out a more qualified white (or Asian) applicant from her government subsidized job.
To add insult to injury, she is the offspring of HAITIAN immigrants, not the descendant of antebellum Southern slaves.
So. we. owe. her. nothing. (Not that we necessarily "owe" anything to our non-immigrant descended blacks either, but in her case it's just so ridiculous)
I thought it was the Surgeon General’s saying “Call your Abuela, call your Big Momma, call your Pop-Pop” that offended her. She will be known from that moment forward as Big Momma. He handled it gracefully.
He said that blacks should stop doing certain things so that they could remain healthy for their family’s sake. The reporter was angry because he implied that blacks were in poor health for reasons other than racism.Replies: @James Speaks
Responding to data showing that African American and Latino communities are being disproportionally impacted by coronavirus, Adams suggested during Friday's White House briefing that those communities abstain from high-risk behaviors during the pandemic, such as using tobacco, drugs, and consuming alcohol.
In reporting Adams's remarks, Alcindor tweeted that "some will find this language offensive." Three minutes later — of course, without offering proof — she tweeted that "many found this language highly offensive."
Then, when given the opportunity to ask a question at the briefing, Alcindor confronted Adams over his comments, again postulating that they had indicted outrage, yet offering no evidence to substantiate her claims.

It was always kind of hard to peg Obama’s IQ because while he has an observable baseline intelligence (let’s say 110 bare minimum) but is clearly not 160-plus either, the problem was always not whether he’s a reasonably smart guy, the problem was that he is an ideologue who sincerely believes idiotic things that are demonstrably not true. And he doesn’t believe stupid things because he’s stupid, the way say Sandy Cortez does, he believes them because he’s a racist and a True Believer.
This makes it hard to guess what is intelligence (or not) from him, and what is guile, what is disingenuousness (does ANYBODY who gets into HLS /really/ sincerely believe Critical Race Theory?), what is naked power grabbing, and so on.

This disease may have initially been spread globally by the affluent but yes, outside of the elderly it IS increasingly a disease of the poor and the black. They are the non-senior citizens with the most co-morbidities that transform Wuhan Virus from a bad cold to a fatal diseases in certain individuals. Overweight, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, etc.
Blacks are also disproportionately involved in occupations that don’t allow them to work from home and are the ones who are least likely to obey social distancing (or any other) laws and government recommendations.
However, despite what unions are saying about bus drivers and retail clerks deserving combat pay for facing the public, this doesn’t seem to be a primary vector. In Philly, 3 mass transit employees have died so far but they were all mechanics and did not interact with the public.

The sad thing is that Lancet probably does still run some serious and scientifically useful papers but with dreck like this sprinkled in. It’s a combination of affirmative action and neo-Stalinism.
AA in the sense that they are obligated to give space to people who do not have the intellectual horsepower and inclination to produce quality scientific work, but Lancet can use this sort of piece to somewhat balance their contents by ethnicity and sex.
Stalinism in the sense that all institutions have to pay homage to the prevailing ideology or die. During the reign of Stalin perfectly valid science was being published, but every paper opened with a paean to the inspiration of Marxist-Leninist thought and the leadership of Comrade Stalin in the success of the work.

"One sees the same line of argument in rhetoric from a group calling itself White Coats for Black Lives, or WC4BL. Founded in 2014, and modeled after the Black Panthers’ work in achieving equal healthcare access, WC4BL immediately demanded that med-school curricula include coursework in Black Studies and even intersectionality. Last year the group issued its second “Racial Justice Report Card,” which evaluated 17 medical schools through a social-justice lens. No medical school was graded higher than a B-. Harvard and Johns Hopkins received a C+. WC4BL told the Guardian that this signals a need for even more “robust” anti-racism training."

Responding to data showing that African American and Latino communities are being disproportionally impacted by coronavirus, Adams suggested during Friday’s White House briefing that those communities abstain from high-risk behaviors during the pandemic, such as using tobacco, drugs, and consuming alcohol.
In reporting Adams’s remarks, Alcindor tweeted that “some will find this language offensive.” Three minutes later — of course, without offering proof — she tweeted that “many found this language highly offensive.”
Then, when given the opportunity to ask a question at the briefing, Alcindor confronted Adams over his comments, again postulating that they had indicted outrage, yet offering no evidence to substantiate her claims.
Here's the co-conspiring attempted assassins at the SPLC during peak pandemic slope a couple of weeks ago:

We can only hope that some day the SPLC will inadvertently hire the next Bernie Madoff to handle their money, and he’ll spend every last cent of their $600m white genocide fund in Vegas before he’s found out.
$25 million to bail out PBS; your tax dollars in action!
Yamiche Alcindor is just an ungrateful AA mediocrity who more than likely pushed out a more qualified white (or Asian) applicant from her government subsidized job.
To add insult to injury, she is the offspring of HAITIAN immigrants, not the descendant of antebellum Southern slaves.
So. we. owe. her. nothing. (Not that we necessarily “owe” anything to our non-immigrant descended blacks either, but in her case it’s just so ridiculous)
It already has a name that works as a joke.
pffft
Well, it would only be “dangerous” to The Narrative.
In reality accepting the truth would set us all free from obsessing about gaps and blame so we can use that energy for something else.
But they’re not really asking anyway. It’s just a rhetorical question and the answer is racism! They just want to tell us that some more like with every other “conversation about race” over the past decade or three.
To dream the impossible dream…
I just want to touch their hair.
He said that blacks should stop doing certain things so that they could remain healthy for their family’s sake. The reporter was angry because he implied that blacks were in poor health for reasons other than racism.Replies: @James Speaks
For the first time in recent memory, I actually favor the “it’s racist to blame blacks for self-defeating behavior” trope. The more often the plea to stop spreading the disease is repulsed as racist, the more effective the disease will be in reducing the irrational segment. This is Darwin in action.
MERS is still, I believe, on a back burner, culling some few dozens annually. If memory serves, it also had something to do with bats as well as with camels.
My last job had me on a recurring tour of ME ports (Aqaba, Jeddah, Salalah, Jebel Ali, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, ad Dammam, Shuaiba, Shuwaikh, etc.), and the authorities in the Kingdom were very much spun up about MERS, particularly in 2014-15, with those in the UAE a bit less so. Never was excessively concerned for the crew, as MERS seemed to be pretty hard to transmit. Interaction with the locals was limited and manageable, with the omnipresent possibility of being flattened by a speeding Tahoe being much more of a deadly danger than a virus. "Liberty calls" aren't really a thing in KSA, certainly not in Jeddah, far too close to the Holy Places, and while technically permissible in Dammam, I never saw any of my crew venture down the ramp. Don't know where you served your Coastie days (other than Cypress Gardens), but assume some of it was shipboard, if so you can judge the enormity of that...when grizzled merchant seaman, with their preternatural ability to instantaneously sniff out vice can't be bothered to even try...Replies: @Reg Cæsar
Cypress Gardens? Never heard of the place, let alone been there. Other than a brief visit to Spartanburg as a child, the only thing I remember about the Palmetto State is South of the Border, and the palm readers’ billboards outside Savannah.
I’ve spent more time in Cuba than in South Carolina, albeit all at Gtmo.
Sorry, Cypress Gardens = NTC Orlando (for the foul smelling ground water erupting from the sprinkler heads). You can never tell where QM / SM grads will end up. One of my buddies was assigned to Kodiak as the USCG cop upon graduation.
Gitmo was a joy, no?
This makes it hard to guess what is intelligence (or not) from him, and what is guile, what is disingenuousness (does ANYBODY who gets into HLS /really/ sincerely believe Critical Race Theory?), what is naked power grabbing, and so on. Also he had lots of very smart advisers whose job was to make him look smart, and a lickspittle MSM who would paper it over when he didn't.
Also zero paper trail, aside from that dopey book. But, smart enough not to leave a paper trail in the first place.
Tough call.Replies: @Anonymous
As blacks go Obama was very smart. As Presidents go he was not the dumbest, but he was below average certainly.
He is a racist, but we all are, in the way that we are carbon based, breathe an nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and are, unless deluded, omnivorous. Owsley Stanley III ate no vegetables, Little Miss Muffett (both of ’em apparently, but mere seems more vocally militant on the issue) eats no critters, and Apollo astronauts lived in a 5 psi pure oxygen atmosphere for the duration, but those situations are as artificial and weird as the person who “doesn’t see race”.
Good one, AEN.
“women and girls”
That’s a new one. What’s the difference?
What i think is ironic is…..traditionally & in other countries women literally still rely on men for basic survival because rapists, agriculture etc
It’s only our weird society & a few weird Western or westernized societies where grocery stores, good supply chains, socialized nanny states, free health care, lesbian cops going after male women beaters, and a police entity that gets into your business every time a drunk pops his gf….thats all part if the nanny state western women use as substitutes for as Heartiste calls it “beta male provision.”
These ppl are just trying to secure their sinecure on the make-work racketeering wagon….
